I test drove the new lancer and OH MY GOD that car is freaken FAST and when it comes to corners the car sticks to the ground like glue, the dealer took a 90 degree corner at 65 mph and started to speed up out of the corner, my civic cannot even do that WOW ALL WHEEL DRIVE is BADD ***

IF I was at the dealership, I would be the one test driving it in the first place, not some incompetent dealer that might put me in danger, besides if I want to buy the car, I should be the one test driving it, not letting him let me sit in the passenger seat...what b******* is that?

i drove my buddys for a month and a half... i;d rather have it then almost any car, nothing could keep up with us... what came close was a 355 ferrari convertable and a 2003 M3... other then that we smoked everything,
if ANYONE has the money... i'd say get one


there for the used market will be nice....


i dont know if anyone else knows but the block to the EVO VIII is the same as in the GSX eclipse... i just think its a different head on it so... all that performance for less

It's 4G63, in production for 13 years! Goes for Eclipse and Galant VR4.... head is different b/c somewhere along the way, the 4G63 received GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection). Oh, what would I rather have than a 4WD turbo? Rear wheel drive turbo!

Sorry, I know this is closed, but I just had to comment.

How about a RoadRunner with a hemmi and a quickchange rear end with limited slip pushing 1200 HP N/A on pump gas with methanol additive?

You guys seriously need to get rid of your "turbogasim" stuff...F/I really isnt all there is to performance cars.

Not saying the evo is a bad car, it's damn fast and a good performer in a lot of categories, but thats not all there is!
